“Self-knowledge means to be able to recognize our limitations and to curb the presumption of self-sufficiency. This proves beneficial because, once we realize that we are creatures, we become creative. We learn to immerse ourselves in the world instead of attempting to dominate it. Saint Joseph teaches us that, in the midst of life’s tempests, we must never be afraid to let the Lord steer our course.”
Pope Francis
It’s the birthday of Israeli poet and novelist Yehuda Amichai, born Ludwig Pfeuffer in Würzburg, Germany, in 1924. He moved to Palestine in 1936 and later became an Israeli citizen. He was one of the first poets to write in colloquial Hebrew. He wrote: “A man needs to love and to hate at the same moment, / to laugh and cry with the same eyes, / with the same hands to throw stones and to gather them, / to make love in war and war in love.”
